Carz Camp, Lakes Ranch, Owhata, Rotorua, November 1 to 3, 2024

Sulphur City Rod & Custom Club’s legendary NZHRA rod run made a welcome return for 2024, with a new venue and a ‘rodeo’ theme. The event sold out months before close-off; those who managed to get a place were treated to a cruise, grasskhana, rodders’ game, partying and lots of laughs. It’ll be back in 2026.
